America's Next Top Model winner, Jaslene Gonzalez shares words of wisdom for this season's contestants

Throughout the show she was cool, calm and actually friendly, proving that nice girls can finish first. I caught up with her at a private party in New York City and after marvelling over how good she looked in a simple tee and jeans, I had to ask her what winning strategy the contestants can use this season. "Take it as a learning experience. That's what it is. Go in there like a sponge, be open minded. But at the same time be confident and know what your objective is. My objective was to win."
Have you ever wondered why Tyra Banks never picks women who actually go on to work as professional models after they win America's Next Top Model? Either there's an ANTM curse, or something funky is going on. Personally, we think that Tyra doesn't really choose her top girl based on her ability to succeed in the fashion industry. We believe there's a greater conspiracy going on to choose women who have better stories and will keep the TV audiences' attention. But, in other countries that's not the case. Top Model shows in several other nations have had their models go on to international success.
You would think that since America's Next Top Model is all about making it big in the fashion industry that Tyra Banks would try and teach these girls something about, well, fashion. Unfortunately, it looks like the Cycle 8 winner, Jaslene Gonzalez, never made it through a what not to wear class.
